[00:06.19].
[00:06.82]The kitchen smells like orange peels
[00:10.00]Her stomach turns like a spinning wheel
[00:12.93]Put the baby down in her little seat
[00:16.17]You should rest now mama you should eat
[00:19.99]It ain’t right you been working all day
[00:22.99]All us kids getting in your way
[00:25.80]So she goes to bed as soon as the kitchen's clean
[00:32.49]That don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[00:39.49].
[00:42.47]Well I don’t know if this part is true
[00:45.49]How memories lie sometimes they do
[00:48.80]But I can see her in our living room
[00:51.86]With a smile on her face as she’s dancing to
[00:55.63]Judy Garland, Carnegie Hall, Sunday April 23rd
[01:01.86]She said her cousin had a balcony seat
[01:06.83]And that don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[01:15.21].
[01:19.58]Oh Lord, am I good enough
[01:25.89]When this world spins as hard as it does
[01:31.50]And we both know how it shakes some people up
[01:37.88]So how did you decide to give me so much love
[01:44.50].
[01:48.00]Well, she never said a word to me
[01:51.00]About dying, about how she’d leave
[01:54.53]In all her pain she would never cry
[01:57.49]Me and my best friend Tina would ride our bikes
[02:00.79]From Lelland Road up Daily Drive
[02:04.30]We took a paper route one summer time
[02:07.43]Tina’s mom said I was part of the family
[02:13.81]And that don’t mean a thing to you but it does to me
[02:21.11].
[02:25.16]Oh Lord, am I good enough
[02:31.35]When this world spins as hard as it does
[02:37.11]And we both know how it shakes some people up
[02:43.62]So how did you decide to give me so much love,
[02:50.49]Love love, so much love, so much love
[03:00.10]Love love, you give me so much love, so much love
[03:13.38].
[03:16.69]No one’s had a bigger say
[03:19.50]In who I am today
[03:23.01]And I swear I’ve tried to be worthy of
[03:26.29]The name they gave me when I was young
[03:29.32]But I ain’t that pretty, I ain’t that brave
[03:32.66]My kids have seen me cry
[03:35.86]They should have given her name to my sister Marie
[03:42.51]And that don’t mean a thing to you,
[03:48.88]That don’t mean a thing to you
[03:53.88]But it does to me
[03:58.85].
